!["Shophouses" painting is the first one of many shophouses paintings I have made. It is also available as a limited edition print. It was sold very quickly and soon after another Singapore shophouses canvas was commissioned from me. I found myself painting shophouses regularly and I discovered I really liked it. A shophouse is an architectural heritage typical in Singapore and a very popular artistic subject among expats living in Singapore.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_60c8d83f36a047e3a570d5e13cc866da~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_110,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_60c8d83f36a047e3a570d5e13cc866da~mv2.jpg)
I am a Singapore based artist originally from Warsaw, Poland. When I was in my 20s I developed my interest in painting while watching my mother paint.
!["Chinese Winter" is a commissioned painting for a French couple living in Singapore. I was asked to paint a black and white abstract cityscape, with a bit of warm color and Asian influence. They loved it and soon after purchased another of my paintings, this time a colorful abstract.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_ca636efd643c41ce8ec1a12f863ec453~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_111,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_ca636efd643c41ce8ec1a12f863ec453~mv2.jpg)
After settling in in Singapore, I discovered acrylics, my favourite medium and began my love for and devotion to painting. In my portfolio you will find landscapes and pure abstracts, but it is the cityscapes that I am drawn to the most, especially places I used to live in, like Tokyo. My originals and prints have been sold across the world, from Europe to Japan, Australia and the U.S. I never know what my paintings will look like at the end as the process is spontaneous and fast, and I hope you too can feel all the good vibes and love that I put into these works of art.
!["Chuo Dori" painting comes from my Tokyo collection. Chuo Dori is the main shopping street that runs through Ginza, one of the main city's business districts. During my 2 years staying in Tokyo I used to work there, meet friends and go shopping. I have a lot of great memories attached to this place. Chuo Dori is busy, vibrant and full of life. I hope that it comes across in this painting.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_81f14f1e1c89476db43a2fd223943e2e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_147,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_81f14f1e1c89476db43a2fd223943e2e~mv2.jpg)
